The abovementioned compounds are used in particular as intermediates for the preparation of crop protection agents, eg. of substituted salicylic acid derivatives which, according to the prior art (eg. DE-A 39 19 435, EP-A 346 789, EP-A 490 060, Wo 93/03017, EP-A 249 708, 287 072, 287 079 and 315 889) have good herbicidal and/or bioregulatory action. However, they also show a good herbicidal action themselves.

The preparation of 1,3-benzodioxoles and benzodioxane derivatives is described in Chemical Abstracts 91 (23): 193238u (L. Bonsignore et al., Rend. Semin. Fac. Sci. Univ. Cagliari, Vol. 48, (1978) pp. 275-283).

It is an object of the present invention to facilitate access to various substituted salicylic acid derivatives, eg. the compounds described in the above publications, and to make available an advantageous process for preparing these compounds.

We have now found that this object can be achieved by the cyclic acetals I mentioned at the outset. We have furthermore found an advantageous method for reaction of the acetals I to give the biologically active compounds. The invention further relates to chemically discrete processes for preparing the acetals I, herbicidal compositions containing the compounds I and their use for controlling undesired plant growth.

The cyclic acetals where A=A¹, A², A³ or A⁶ are prepared by reacting the corresponding 6-hydroxybenzoic acids (for Y═O) or 6-mercaptobenzoic acids (for Y═S) with a compound O═CR¹ R² in the presence of an acidic catalyst: ##STR3##

(A=A¹, A², A³ or A⁶)

The starting substances are generally known or accessible in a generally known manner.

To bind the water formed in the reaction a dehydrating agent can be added such as eg. molecular sieve, acid anhydrides, such as trifluoroacetic anhydride or acetic anhydride, or sodium sulfate or calcium chloride if this promotes the conversion. A reactive acetal of the compound O═CR¹ R² is also suitable, such as eg. a dimethyl acetal, diethyl acetal, ethylene acetal or propylene acetal. Suitable catalysts are particularly acidic ion exchangers, protic acids such as eg. toluenesulfonic acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid etc. or Lewis acids such as eg. aluminum chloride, titanium tetrachloride, zinc chloride, calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, tin chlorides etc. Often the water formed or the alcohol formed from the acetal can be removed directly from the reaction mixture by distillation. The cyclic acetals where A=A¹ can be further modified on the hydroxyl group by reacting them eg. with sulfonic anhydrides or sulfonyl halides (see synthesis examples).

Cyclic acetals I where A=A⁴ or A⁵ are obtained particularly advantageously by reaction of compounds I where A=A² and compounds X--A⁴ or X--A⁵ in the presence of a catalytically active palladium compound according to the following reaction scheme: ##STR4##

R¹, R², Y and A⁴ or A⁵ here have the meanings described above and A² is eg. chlorine, bromine, iodine, C₁ -C₄ -haloalkylsulfonyloxy, in particular trifluoromethylsulfonyloxy, C₁ -C₄ -alkylsulfonyloxy or fluorosulfonyloxy.

X is hydrogen, in particular if A is A⁵, trialkylstannyl, eg. tri-C₁ -C₈ -alkylstannyl such as trimethylstannyl, triethylstannyl, tripropylstannyl, tributylstannyl, tripentylstannyl or trihexylstannyl, dihydroxyboranyl, dialkoxyboranyl, eg. di-C₁ -C₄ -alkoxyboranyl such as dimethoxyboranyl, diethoxyboranyl, dipropoxyboranyl, diisopropoxyboranyl or dibutoxyboranyl or isomers or alkylenedioxyboranyl, eg. C₁ -C₄ -alkylenedioxyboranyl such as ethylenedioxyboranyl or 1,3-propylenedioxyboranyl. The boron or tin compounds used are either known or can be prepared similarly to known compounds.

A catalytically active palladium compound is employed in this novel process. Any desired palladium salts or complexes are suitable here which are at least partially soluble in the reaction mixture. The oxidation states of the palladium can be 0 or 2. In the palladium salts, the following counterions, inter alia, are suitable: chloride, bromide, iodide, sulfate, acetate, trifluoroacetate, acetylacetonate or hexafluoro-2,4-pentanedionate. Many different palladium complexes can be used. The only condition is that the ligands on the palladium can be displaced by the substrate under the reaction conditions. Phosphine ligands such as eg. arylalkylphosphines such as, inter alia, methyldiphenylphosphine, isopropyldiphenylphosphine, triarylphosphines such as, inter alia, triphenylphosphine, tritolylphosphine, trixylylphosphine, trihetarylphosphines such as trifurylphosphine or dimeric phosphines are particularly suitable. Olefinic ligands such as, inter alia, dibenzylideneacetone or its salts, cycloocta-1,5-diene or amines such as trialkylamines (eg. triethylamine, tetramethylethylenediamine, N-methylmorpholine) or pyridine are also highly suitable.

The complex used can be employed directly in the reaction. Thus the reaction can be carried out eg. with tetrakistriphenylphosphinepalladium(0), bistriphenylphosphinepalladium dichloride, bistriphenylphosphinepalladium diacetate, a dibenzylideneacetonepalladium (0) complex, tetrakismethyldiphenylphosphinepalladium(0) or bis(1,2-diphenylphosphinoethane)palladium dichloride. A palladium salt and additionally a suitable ligand can also be used, which then only form the catalytically active complex in situ. This procedure suggests itself eg. with the abovementioned salts and phosphine ligands such as eg. trifurylphosphine or tritolylphosphine. Palladium complexes such as eg. tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium, bis(dibenzylideneacetone)palladium or 1,5-cyclooctadienepalladium dichloride can also be further activated by the addition of ligands such as eg. trifurylphosphine or tritolylphosphine.

Customarily, from 0.001 to 10 mol %, in particular from 0.005 to 5 mol %, of the palladium compound (salt or complex) are used, based on the compound X--A⁴ or X--A⁵. Higher amounts are possible, but rather uneconomical.

The amount of X--A⁴ or X--A⁵, based on the starting substance I--A² (I where A=A²), is in general from 0.8 to 3, preferably from 0.95 to 1.5, mole equivalents.

All solvents which do not react themselves with the substrates used are suitable for the reaction. Polar solvents accelerate the reaction. Ethers such as diethyl ether, methyl tert-butyl ether, dimethoxyethane, tetrahydrofuran and dioxane, amides such as dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide, N-methylpyrrolidone and dimethylpropyleneurea or amines such as triethylamine are particularly suitable. The use of mixtures eg. of ethers with amides or mixtures of the abovementioned solvents with water or aliphatic alcohols is often advantageous. The addition of tetraalkylammonium halides or alkali metal halides such as eg. lithium chloride is often helpful and in particular to be recommended if A² is a sulfonyloxy radical.

If X is hydrogen, it is often advantageous to add an inorganic or organic base such as eg. calcium carbonate, sodium carbonate, sodium phosphate, potassium phosphate, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, calcium carbonate, pyridine, triethylamine etc. to the reaction mixture.

The reaction temperature is from -20° to 200° C., preferably from 50° to 160° C. The reaction times are customarily from a few minutes to 50 hours, usually 0.5-10 hours. When using low-boiling solvents it is sometimes useful to carry out the reaction under autogenous pressure in an autoclave.

If desired, the products of the formula I thus obtained where A=A⁴ or A⁵ can be converted by further reactions into other intermediates of the formula I where A=A⁴ or A⁵. It may thus be necessary to remove protective groups. For example, the compound No. 1.017 from Table 1 can be prepared by hydrolytic removal of the trimethylsilyl radical from compound No. 1.001 from Table 1 in the presence of tetrabutylammonium fluoride.

Another possibility for preparing the intermediates I where A=A⁴ is offered by cycloaddition of cyclic acetals I where A=A⁵ to a diene, heterodiene or 1,3-dipole according to the following reaction equation: ##STR5##

The alkenes and alkines described above are suitable for A⁵ ; vinyl and ethynyl are very particularly preferred.

With respect to the (hetero)diene component and possible 1,3-di-polar compounds, reference may be made to G. March, Advanced Organic Chemistry, Second Edition, 1977, pp. 758-798.

Particularly preferred dienes are cyclopentadiene and 3-sulfolene. Nitrile oxides which are substituted by R³¹ are particularly suitable as 1,3-dipoles. Various isoxazole and isoxazoline derivatives of the formula I are accessible in this manner (see Preparation Example No. 6).

The reaction times, reaction temperatures and solvents described above are also suitable here, nonpolar solvents such as hydrocarbons such as hexanes, heptanes or the like, aromatics such as toluene or chlorobenzene or chlorinated hydrocarbons additionally suggest themselves. In some cases it may be efficient to add a protic or Lewis acid as a catalyst.

The reaction of the cyclic acetals I with the salt R⁵⁰ M and the further reaction with the heterocycle of the formula III can be carried out in one reaction vessel directly up to the active compound IV. In this case, the salt R⁵⁰ M, which can also be prepared in situ from a compound R⁵⁰ H and a base, is added first and the heterocycle III is then added. III should advantageously only be added if the first step of the reaction, the addition of the salt R⁵⁰ M to the intermediate I, is largely completed. This can last from a few minutes to several hours, the reaction temperature being from -40° C. to 200° C., usually from 0° C. to 130° C.

It is also possible to discontinue the reaction after the first stage and to isolate the intermediate V ##STR8##

The compound V can then be reacted further by known processes, eg. as described in the offenlegungsschrifts mentioned at the outset.

In both cases, the customary solvents are suitable provided they cannot be deprotonated themselves by the base used or the salt R⁵⁰ M and participate in the reaction. Polar solvents, eg. ethers such as diethyl ether, methyl tert-butyl ether, dimethoxyethane, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, amides such as dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide, N-methylpyrrolidone and dimethylpropyleneurea or dimethyl sulfoxide are particularly highly suitable. A phase-transfer catalyst such as a crown ether or a quaternary ammonium salt can be added if this promotes the conversion.

The reaction temperature is from -40° to 200° C., preferably from 0° to 160° C. The reaction times are customarily from a few minutes to 50 hours, usually 0.5-10 hours.

In general, from 0.8 to 3, in particular 0.9 to 1.5, mole equivalents of the compound II (R⁵⁰ M) are employed per mole of starting substance I. The amount of heterocycle III is likewise expediently from 0.8 to 3, in particular from 0.9 to 1.5 mole equivalents, based on I.

The reaction can be carried out continuously or batchwise, at atmospheric pressure, elevated pressure or reduced pressure.

There are a variety of working-up possibilities which individually depend on the solubility of the product in the solvents used and on the miscibility of the solvents with water and the boiling points of the solvents. Both aqueous and nonaqueous work-ups are possible.

A suitable working-up method consists, for example, in mixing the reaction mixture, from which the solvent can be partly or completely evaporated beforehand, with water and filtering out the product or extracting it with an organic solvent.

The compounds I or the herbicidal compositions containing them and their environmentally tolerable salts of, for example, alkali metals, alkaline earth metals or ammonia and amines of the herbicidal compositions containing them can control broad-leaved weeds and grass weeds very well in crops such as wheat, rice, maize, soybeans and cotton without noticeably damaging the crop plants. This effect occurs especially at low application rates.

Taking into account the variety of application methods, the compounds I or composition s containing them can additionally be employed in a further range of crop plants for the elimination of undesired plants. The following crops, for example, are suitable: Allium cepa, Ananas comosus, Arachis hypogaea, Asparagus officinalis, Beta vulgaris spp. altissima, Beta vulgaris spp. rapa, Brassica napus var. napus, Brassica napus var. napobrassica, Brassica rapa var. silvestris, Camellia sinensis, Carthamus tinctorius, Carya illinoinensis, citrus limon, Citrus sinensis, coffea arabica (Coffea canephora, Coffea liberica), Cucumis sativus, Cynodon dactylon, Daucus carota, Elaeis guineensis, Fragaria vesca, Glycine max, Gossypium hirsutum, (Gossypium arboreum, Gossypium herbaceum, Gossypium vitifolium), Helianthus annuus, Hevea brasiliensis, Hordeum vulgare, Humulus lupulus, Ipomoea batatas, Juglans regia, Lens culinaris, Linum usitatissimum, Lycopersicon lycopersicum, Malus spp., Manihot esculenta, Medicago sativa, Musa spp., Nicotiana tabacum (N. rustica), Olea europaea, Oryza sativa, Phaseolus lunatus, Phaseolus vulgaris, Picea abies, Pinus spp., Pisum sativum, Prunus avium, Prunus persica, Pyrus communis, Ribes sylvestre, Ricinus communis, Saccharum officinarum, Secale cereale, Solanum tuberosum, Sorghum bicolor (S. vulgare), Theobroma cacao, Trifolium pratense, Triticum aestivum, Triticum durum, Vicia faba, Vitis vinifera, Zea mays.

Moreover, the compounds I can also be employed in crops which have been made largely resistant to the action of I or other herbicides by breeding and/or by means of genetic engineering methods.

The application of the herbicidal compositions or of the active compounds can be carried out pre-emergence or post-emergence. If the active compounds are less tolerable for certain crop plants, application techniques can be used in which the herbicidal compositions are sprayed with the aid of spray equipment such that the leaves of the sensitive crop plants are not affected if possible, while the active compounds reach the leaves of undesired plants growing under them or the uncovered soil surface (post-directed, lay-by).

The compounds I or the herbicidal compositions containing them can be applied by spraying, atomizing, dusting, broadcasting or watering for example in the form of directly sprayable aqueous solutions, powders, suspensions, alternatively high-percentage aqueous, oily or other suspensions or dispersions, emulsions, oil dispersions, pastes, dusting compositions, broadcasting compositions or granules. The application forms depend on the intended use; in each case, if possible, they should guarantee the finest dispersion of the active compounds according to the invention.

Suitable inert auxiliaries for the preparation of directly sprayable solutions, emulsions, pastes or oil dispersions are essentially: mineral oil fractions of medium to high boiling point such as kerosene or diesel oil, additionally coal tar oils and oils of vegetable or animal origin, aliphatic, cyclic and aromatic hydrocarbons, eg. paraffins, tetrahydronaphthalene, alkylated naphthalenes or their derivatives, alkylated benzenes and their derivatives, alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol and cyclohexanol, ketones such as cyclohexanone, or strongly polar solvents, eg. amines such as N-methylpyrrolidone, or water.

Aqueous application forms can be prepared from emulsion concentrates, suspensions, pastes, wettable powders or water-dispersible granules by addition of water. To prepare emulsions, pastes or oil dispersions, the substrates as such or dissolved in an oil or solvent can be homogenized in water by means of wetting agents, adhesives, dispersants or emulsifiers. However, concentrates consisting of active substance, wetting agent, adhesive, dispersant and possibly solvent or oil can also be prepared, which are suitable for dilution with water.

Suitable surface-active substances are the alkali metal, alkaline earth metal or ammonium salts of aromatic sulfonic acids, eg. lignosulfonic, phenolsulfonic, naphthalenesulfonic and dibutylnaphthalenesulfonic acid, as well as of fatty acids, alkyl- and alkylarylsulfonates, alkyl-, lauryl ether and fatty alcohol sulfates, and also salts of sulfated hexa-, hepta- and octadecanols as well as of fatty alcohol glycol ethers, condensation products of sulfonated naphthalene and its derivatives with formaldehyde, condensation products of naphthalene or of the naphthalenesulfonic acids with phenol and formaldehyde, polyoxyethylene octylphenol ether, ethoxylated isooctyl-, octyl- or nonylphenol, alkylphenol or tributylphenyl polyglycol ethers, alkylaryl polyether alcohols, isotridecyl alcohol, fatty alcohol-ethylene oxide condensates, ethoxylated castor oil, polyoxyethylene or polyoxypropylene alkyl ethers, lauryl alcohol polyglycol ether acetate, sorbitol esters, lignin-sulfite waste liquors or methylcellulose.

Powder, broadcasting and dusting compositions can be prepared by mixing or joint grinding of the active substances with a solid carrier.

Granules, eg. coated, impregnated and homogeneous granules, can be prepared by binding the active substances to solid carriers. Solid carriers are mineral earths such as silica gel, silicic acids, silicates, talc, kaolin, limestone, lime, chalk, bole, loess, clay, dolomite, diatomaceous earth, calcium sulfate and magnesium sulfate, magnesium oxide, ground synthetic materials, fertilizers, such as ammonium sulfate, ammonium phosphate, ammonium nitrate, ureas and vegetable products such as cereal meal, tree bark meal, wood meal and nutshell meal, cellulose powder or other solid carriers.

The formulations in general contain from 0.01 to 95% by weight, preferably from 0.5 to 90% by weight, of active compound. The active compounds are employed here in a purity of from 90% to 100%, preferably from 95% to 100% (according to NMR spectrum). The compounds I according to the invention can be formulated, for example, as follows:

I. 20 parts by weight of the compound No. I are dissolved in a mixture which consists of 80 parts by weight of alkylated benzene, 10 parts by weight of the addition product of from 8 to 10 mol of ethylene oxide to 1 mol of oleic acid N-monoethanolamide, 5 parts by weight of calcium salt of dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid and 5 parts by weight of the addition product of 40 mol of ethylene oxide to 1 mol of castor oil. By pouring out the solution and finely dispersing it in 100,000 parts by weight of water, an aqueous dispersion is obtained which contains 0.02% by weight of the active compound.

II. 20 parts by weight of the compound No. I are dissolved in a mixture which consists of 40 parts by weight of cyclohexanone, 30 parts by weight of isobutanol, 20 parts by weight of the addition product of 7 mol of ethylene oxide to 1 mol of isooctylphenol and 10 parts by weight of the addition product of 40 mol of ethylene oxide to 1 mol of castor oil. By pouring the solution into and finely dispersing it in 100,000 parts by weight of water, an aqueous dispersion is obtained which contains 0.02% by weight of the active compound.

III. 20 parts by weight of the active compound No. I are dissolved in a mixture which consists of 25 parts by weight of cyclohexanone, 65 parts by weight of a mineral oil fraction of boiling point from 210° to 280° C. and 10 parts by weight of the addition product of 40 mol of ethylene oxide to 1 mol of castor oil. By pouring the solution into and finely dispersing it in 100,000 parts by weight of water, an aqueous dispersion is obtained which contains 0.02% by weight of the active compound.

IV. 20 parts by weight of the active compound No. I are well mixed with 3 parts by weight of the sodium salt of diisobutylnaphthalene-α-sulfonic acid, 17 parts by weight of the sodium salt of a lignosulfonic acid from a sulfite waste liquor and 60 parts by weight of powdered silica gel and the mixture is ground in a hammer mill. By finely dispersing the mixture in 20,000 parts by weight of water, a spray mixture is obtained which contains 0.1% by weight of the active compound.

V. 3 parts by weight of the active compound No. I are mixed with 97 parts by weight of finely divided kaolin. In this way, a dusting composition is obtained which contains 3% by weight of the active compound.

VI. 20 parts by weight of the active compound No. I are intimately mixed with 2 parts by weight of the calcium salt of dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid, 8 parts by weight of fatty alcohol polyglycol ether, 2 parts by weight of sodium salt of a phenol/urea/formaldehyde condensate and 68 parts by weight of a paraffinic mineral oil. A stable oily dispersion is obtained.

To widen the spectrum of action and to achieve synergistic effects, the cyclic acetals I can be mixed with numerous representatives of other herbicidal or growth-regulating-active compound groups and applied together. For example, suitable mixture components are diazines, 4H-3,1-benzoxazine derivatives, benzothiadiazinones, 2,6-dinitroanilines, N-phenylcarbamates, thiocarbamates, halocarboxylic acids, triazines, amides, ureas, diphenyl ethers, triazinones, uracils, benzofuran derivatives, cyclohexane-1,3-dione derivatives which in the 2-position carry eg. a carboxyl or carbimino group, quinolinecarboxylic acid derivatives, imidazolinones, sulfonamides, sulfonylureas, aryloxy- or heteroaryloxyphenoxypropionic acids and their salts, esters and amides and others.

Additionally, it may be useful to apply the compounds I on their own or together in combination with other herbicides also additionally mixed with further crop protection agents, for example with agents for the control of pests or phytopathogenic fungi or bacteria. Of interest is also the miscibility with mineral salt solutions, which are employed for the elimination of nutritional and trace element deficiencies. Nonphytotoxic oils and oil concentrates can also be added.

Depending on the target of control, time of year, target plants and stage of growth, the application rates of active compound are from 0.001 to 3.0 kg/ha of active substance (a.s.).

Use examples

It was possible to show the herbicidal action of the cyclic acetals of the formula I by greenhouse tests:

The cultivation containers used were plastic flowerpots containing loamy sand containing about 3.0% humus as a substrate. The seeds of the test plants were sown separately according to species.

In the case of pre-emergence treatment, the active compounds, suspended in water or emulsified, were applied directly after sowing by means of finely dispersing nozzles. The containers were lightly watered in order to promote germination and growth, and then covered with transparent plastic hoods until the plants had taken root. This covering causes uniform germination of the test plants if this has not been adversely affected by the active compounds.

For the purpose of post-emergence treatment, the test plants were first raised, depending on growth form, to a growth height of from 3 to 15 cm and only then treated with the active compounds suspended in water or emulsified. For this, the test plants were either sown directly and raised in the same containers or they are first raised separately as seed plants and transplanted into the test containers a few days before the treatment. The application rate for post-emergence treatment was 3.0 kg/ha of a.s.

The plants were kept in a species-specific manner at 10°-25° C. or 20°-35° C. The test period extended over a period of from 2 to 4 weeks. During this time, the plants were tended, and their reaction to the individual treatments was assessed.

Assessment was carried out on a scale of from 0 to 100. 100 here means no emergence of the plants or complete destruction of at least the above-ground parts and 0 means no damage or a normal course of growth.
